Don't be fooled guys, AVOID THIS COMPANY!!

As seasoned travellers - AVOID THIS TOUR AND COMPANY (you've been warned). Rent a car and drive outside Tromso, you'll have a better experience! If I could give MINUS 100 stars, I would. We sat in a very cramped minibus for 6+ hours - (the first half not even stopping for the toilet or to stretch our legs). To add, Mattio and August, our driver and tour guide were lovely. No Northern lights, no anything really. It was £200 claustrophobic bus ride. Awful, awful, experience overall. A waste of a significant amount of money. NOTE: I reached out to the company to express my concerns. I can confirm they DID NOT respond. This speaks volumes of their lack of customer centricity. They are money grabbers.
Amazing night chasing the lights with the brilliant Mattia!

(*****) Couldn’t recommend this Arctic Breeze northern lights tour or its guide Mattia more highly. Persistence was his key and the magical final hour of this tour showcased nature’s fireworks in all their glory and gave us photographs we will cherish forever. Mattia’s mix of storytelling around the fire with cookies and hot chocolate also proved a fascinating mix of folklore and science.

Weather not on our side, I would only book this type of tour on the day and check if weather is good. Wear spikes, especially if you are older. Not easy getting to some viewing spots by foot. Dress appropriately. Maybe go up the mountain by cable car and try your luck there first. The Northern Lights were visible the night before our tour.
Very cold and disappointing

Smooth ride in a Mercedes mini bus which left on time. Our guide drove us to only two different lookout points, both within an hour of Tromso, over almost six hours. At the first site - the better of the two - our guide gave us a few pointers on how to take a better pics with our phones and then took some photos which were distributed to our group. Overall, we spent far too much time shivering in the van at each of the sites. I wouldn’t recommend it.
Once in a Lifetime Experience!

So fortunate to have had Brynjar as our guide! When we started out, he told us there was only one night over the last 3 months that he had a group that did not get to see the lights, so we felt like we had good odds with him. He’s incredibly experienced and was able to find the lights for us in three different locations over 4.5 hours just miles outside of Tromso. Not only that, he knew how to tell if the lights were going to likely come back (so we should stay in the same place) or if they were fading and we should look elsewhere. This type of knowledge is something obtained only over years and years of experience. There were two women on our tour who had been out the previous two nights in Tromso with different companies (they saw the lights on all of them), and they said this tour was the best of the three. Highly recommend Arctic Breeze, and especially Brynjar!
Amazing night

If you have to chase the Northern Lights, choose this company. The first night we were with Oscar but unfortunately the weather conditions were not on our side. Oscar was very kind and attentive the whole way. He offered us to come back the next day with a 50% discount. The second night I was with Mattia and August. We drove to Finland and there the show was incredible! Thank you guys for making my childhood dream come true. I will come back in October and I will definitely choose you again! Thank you again for being so kind and doing everything so that we could see the Northern Lights despite the weather not being on our side! Thank you thank you thank you!
Dedication to deliver!

Mattia, our guide, and August, our driver, went out of their way to find us northern lights even though our chances of seeing them were very small (it was a cloudy, grey day). We ended up driving 60kms into Finland and finally there they were! The tour was 2 hours longer than normal because of Mattia's dedication! Afterwards we got hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookies and an explanation from Mattia about the northern lights etc. I therefore recommend Arctic Breeze wholeheartedly!
No lights

The guide was very engaging other than there was nothing else. Booked two Lights tours with them and still did not see anything. One of our friends booked with another tour company and they saw lights on the same day. Will not recommend!
Wonderful experience and excellent guide

This was an amazing experience! Mattia was the perfect guide, he knew everything about the northern lights and the best spots to catch them, but he was also very careful and responsive to our needs, and he made us feel as comfortable as possible. It must be said the northern lights are unpredictable, so even if the sky conditions are good, the sight of the northern lights cannot be taken for granted and the guide can’t help it, but we were actually very lucky because we were able to see the northern lights from 7 pm to 12.30 am. We went to different spots to see the northern lights and we were able to catch them in each spot. Moreover, we were a small group so it was very easy to move around and take pictures. Also, the guide only chose remote spots without any other groups or people, to full enjoy the moment with no distraction. Great guide, great company and great night! Definitely one of the best experiences we made in Tromso!

This was an excellent tour. We were lucky with the weather and saw the northern lights multiple times. While this is never a guarantee, what I appreciated was how much great information our guide, Mattia, provided along the way. He taught us how to spot the aurora when it first appears and explained everything from the science behind the phenomenon to its name, coined by Galileo. He was very clear about where we were going, how long the tour would be, and what was happening at each stop. Our driver August was very careful and made us feel safe as we drove along winding, sometimes narrow and snowy roads. I went on another tour the same week where the driver was also the guide, only he hardly communicated with the group at all, and his driving was frightening— not pleasant at all. The Arctic Breeze tour was 1000% better and if I return to Tromso, this is the only one I would go on.
